One Per Cent. Goes.

One of the most important steps
taken by the Montana Stock Grow rs
Association Is the one which il detail
ed 10 the resolutions adopted by the ex-
%ecutive committee on Thursday last
aud published for the first time IN
this morning. JOURNAL. The reform
sought for and which will undoubt,d.
~ come is this: heretofore IN all the
western beef markets of the country
the charge levied for selling a beef
"critter" has been fifty cents without
regard to condition. That Is, the corn
fed steer from the states, weighing
1900 pounds and netting seventy-tive
dollars has been subjected to no great.
er charge than the range steer or COW
that has OF late been lucky lift brought
it, owner twenty-five dollars. The
principle Of an arbitrary assessment per
capita IL all wrong and at variance with
business principles, and the effort
made to overthrow II by the Montana
stock growers should meetwith prompt
and earnest support from every range
owner in the country. There Is no
reason why range cattle should be
subjected to a tax Of two per cent or
more while stall fed CRITTERS" get of
with less than one per cent. There is
no more labor involved In the sale Of
one than the other, and IL appears to
be an occasion when we can ask the
commission men who are so anxious TO
handle our cattle TO give US y square
deal. There Is . latent feeling among
COW pen that as long as commission
dealers get as much for a sale be II
high az be IL low, there Is 10 incentive
for them 20 rustic and try aud get a
better price for their consignmeuts.
Whether this be true OF not, II will
certainly do no harm TO have the new
regulation adopted. One per cent
gross on sales Is good enough II good
prices are realized. If not the com.
mission mar suffers In common with

One of the best evidences of the
prosperity and future promise of any
new town is liberal advertising.
Beware of n town whose business
men do not advertise; keep away
from it for it has not the kind of
men in it to build up a town. The
business man or manufacturer in
this day and age who does not adj
yertise, lacks the very first element
of success, and strive as he may he
will not succeed. A business not
worth advertising is not worth hay
ing. All experience teaches this;
yet there are men who will never
learn This lesson, and hence will
never succeed beside the liberal adj
vertiser. Their narrow penny
wise and pound foolish" souls cam
not comprehend that advertising
is but the casting of bread upon the
waters, that will in due time return
an hundred fold to the ADVERTISER
ConE}in's Dakotion.

TIE recent press dispatches report
ing Asiatic Cholera at Detroit, Mich,

in a few weeks over forty persons

gist of the town. Mr.. George B. Dun
bar. who is still in business there,
sold one hundred and eight fifty
cent bottles Of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhna Remedy, dur
ing the epidemic, and states that to
the best of his knowledge, it did not
fail in q single instance. The local
paper published there, said the same
and spoke of it in the highest terms.
The Remedy was used in fully 300
cases, and not TO fail in a single in
stance, is certainly remarkable,
when so many died who were treat
ed by physicians, or used other
medicines. The scourge was H.
